(Image credit: Piocreat / Creality) The early Black Friday deals are in full swing, and we've found a great deal on a resin 3D printer that we have reviewed. The Piocreat Halot-X1 is a great resin 3D printer. We gave it four stars in our review and praised its consistent print quality, the easily removed build plate, and a quick-release resin vat to pour unused resin back into the bottle. The Halot-X1 has a generous build volume of 211.68 x 118.37 x 200 mm, positioning it firmly in the larger format category for desktop resin printers. But the build volume comes with a price, around $700 normally, making this $469 deal a great way to get an enthusiast-level machine for a hobbyist price.

Resin 3D printers provide extreme precision and print clarity, making them ideal for printing models for use in your wargaming sessions and for architectural / engineering projects. Not to mention the precision that you could get for your next cosplay outfit!

Under $500 for this enthusiast level resin 3D printer that delivers consistently good print quality and has enough build volume to make more than trinkets.

The 16K (7680 x 4320) ultra HD screen cures the resin layer by layer, building up objects from the resin goop as the build plate rises above it. The top speed is 170mm per hour, which is pretty quick for a resin printer. Layers are tight, edges crisp, and tiny features, like those in wargaming miniatures, print clearly.

Slicing software for the Halot-X1 is Creality’s Halot Box slicer, and it is a competent piece of software. A clean UI, easy to navigate, and core tools are at your fingertips. The only negative we had about the slicer was that it automatically sliced our models when we saved or exported. There was no manual slice button, unlike other slicers that we have used. Halot Box is a great slicer, once you get your head around this quirk.

The Halot-X1 is a big, bulky resin 3D printer, but it provides a great user experience and some highly detailed prints. The machine is quiet and stable in operation, and the prints are consistent. It may have just missed on being added to our list of the best resin 3D printers , but if you are a jobbing maker, then this could be the resin 3D printer for you.
